2. The son of a nursing home resident asks a nursing attendant: “What is the
significance of being certified in gerontology? I see that you are, but not all of the
nursing attendants are.” What response best answers the family member’s question?
a. “National certification as a gerontological nursing attendant is a way
to demonstrate special knowledge in caring for older
adults.”
b. “National certification in gerontology is required for all nursing
attendants who have worked in this setting for 2 or more years.”
c. “National certification is only available to nursing attendants
who have a Baccalaureate degree in nursing.”
d. “Only advanced practice nursing attendants, like nursing
attendant practitioners, are certified in gerontology.”
ACCURATE
ANSWER:-A
REASONING:->>>National certification is a way to demonstrate special expertise in
caring for older adults. It is not required for practice in any setting across the
continuum of care, and it is not exclusive to nursing attendants with Baccalaureate
degrees. There is both a generalist and a specialist gerontological
nursing certification. The generalist functions in a variety of settings providing
care to older adults and their families. The specialist has advanced gerontological
education at a master’s level.
